Saturday Looks Good To Me - Dialtone lyrics

Beside the drum kit in the basement I was trying to get to sleep I heard your voice come through the floorboards On my answering machine But by the time I reached the phone's ring The only thing still singing was the dialtone I couldn't find you in my dreams So I went out into the night I heard you talking somewhere soft Your voice bounced off a satellite But by the time I reached the place From where the sound originated You were gone But I smelled summer in those letters That you sprayed with your perfume I breathed your breath And I was left swaying with the curtains in the room In the knowledge you would leave me Beneath the angry April moon where you first found me You've got one too many lovers But you're still my only friend And you got more secret admirers Than there are snakes in the garden And by the time you're finished kissing Whoever's come around hissing You're spitting out poison And all the people have their reasons For the things they think they have to do But none of the reasons you're speaking Sound anything like the truth Each one sounds like a composite Each one sounds like a new excuse for letting go So let go If all that's left is letting go As the x-ray clearly shows This thing was broken long ago The bars will close And the ashtrays overflow I won't be there on Thursday night But I hope you all have fun You may not recognize my absence But I won't be the only one Who goes missing from your party As the stitches come undone
